Our School Goals
The school goals for 2004 - 2005 were suggested by the staff, and supported by the School Council. These goals are:

a focus on student learning
a focus on communication with parents about learning 
a safe and productive school learning environment

                                                          Communication

Communication between home and school is important. We communicate with:

Report Cards Newsletters
Phone Contacts Notes
Test Results Parent Program Guides
Parent-Teacher Conferences Student work samples

Supervision of Students
The playground area is supervised in the morning for 15 minutes beginning at 8:40 and after school until 3:50.
The school provides lunch hour supervision for students who follow the lunchroom rules and co-operate with the lunchroom supervisors. We ask the students to:

remain seated during lunch
use a quiet voice
leave a clean eating area
follow the instructions of the lunchroom supervisors

                                                          

Students are expected to be co-operative and to follow the Student Code of Conduct which was prepared by the staff and the School Council. To ensure a safe school, incidents involving violence, harassment, or controlled substances are not tolerated. Records are kept and parents are informed of inappropriate conduct. Consequences vary with the severity of the situation, but may include suspension from school. Incidents involving violence are taken seriously and reported to the police if necessary.
